The next generation ThinkPad Carbon X1 and Thinkpad X1 Nano support the use of recycled material and have a palm rest made from 90% recycled magnesium and the former has a bottom cover made from 55% recycled aluminium. An interesting detail is that Lenovo, according to its version, has developed human presence detection technology using artificial vision, which is responsible for reducing power consumption when the user moves away from the laptop.
Other power-saving features include turning off the keyboard backlight or using Smart Charge to stop charging the laptop when the battery reaches 100%, which are far from innovative or new at this point, but they are things that exist.
